South Gate
Zhang ngyao placed her shield down and struck her lance down as well. She could hear heavy breathing around her, all four Shield Bearers were with her, taking the frontline against the troll.
Fortunately, it was just stage-1 monster troll. Different from what Lu An found in the woods. Much weaker, no skill, and low-level. If all of them were stage-2 trolls with class, the four Shield Bearers might not survive from the wave.
"Call Yu Shun here!" Zhang ngyao shouted to call Yu Shun. Not long after she shouted, Dai Wenqian and Fu Danda ca with Yu Shun followed them.
"Do you need sothing from ?" Yu Shun addressed the girl in a more respectful tone.
"Burn these dead bodies with your zombies, if you need help, ask Lu An! I don't want these dead bodies to beco a plague to our people!" Zhang ngyao pointed at the dead bodies before she looked at Fu Dandan and Dai Wenqian, "What do you have for ?"
"There's no casualty from our side, but…" Fu Dandan paused while glancing at the Fla Castle's group, "They lost ten soldiers!"
"Huh!? Why?" First of all, these people stayed behind, taking advantage of their formation to get the free kills. How could they still lose people? On top of that, the troll was just a stage-1 monster, level 25, no class, and no skill, how could they lose against this kind of weak monster?
"Hah, that's because the monsters are weak. They break out from the formation and fight them head-on which caused ten people's death," Dai Wenqian reported what actually happened. She noticed them when they broke out from the formation, she wanted to call them out but she was too busy with the overwhelming trolls.
Zhang ngyao took a deep breath, trying to not angry. She made the plan, their defensive formation should be perfect with no casualties. But these people broke their promise to her.
She then walked toward the Fla Castle's group. From afar, she could see that they were chatting among themselves, laughing and smiling despite ten of them were dead. Of course, she could notice a few of them looked gloomy as well.
Tian Donghai, Li Na, Moon, Dai Wenqian, and Fu Dandan followed their leader.
"Look~ who's coming here?" One of the mbers Fla Castle whistled at the sight of the beauty. However, his remark attracted a cold glare from everyone. Even Moon roared at the guy the mont he noticed his Master showed hostility toward the man.
'F*ck this blockhead!' Lin Duan cursed his subordinate internally while hastily coming forward and bowed head slightly, "I apologize for my subordinate's rude remark, Captain Zhang," he slowly raised his head, "Do you need sothing from us, Captain Zhang?"
"Yes, I want an explanation why did you break out from the formation? Do you know that your decision could bring a mishap to the formation, they may pass the formation and break into the fort?" Her voice was stern while questioning the man in charge.
She accepted them in the formation, hoping they could work together since this was seven days of the war. More people a higher assurance for them to finish the ga, but she was not expecting such sloppy work from them.
"Why do we need to explain our action? We are not your people, we are from The Fla Castle! We are free to do anything we want!" The man who tried to flirt with Zhang ngyao burst out furiously.
Lin Duan did not try to stop his subordinate as he also agreed with his words. They were not soone who could be ordered as this woman wished to.
"Then I am also free to do anything I want, including in killing all of you! I would rather kill every single of you rather than failing the objective!" She sheathed out the lance. She had learned from Tang Shaoyang that if words were not working then use a fist to talk.
The argunts were heard by the others, the remaining Tang Empire's people approached the group. They were ready to fight anyti, Lin Duan could tell that. Even the bear stopped intimidating them but his fiery gaze never left him.
Lin Duan's subordinate flinched at the girl's response. He was not expecting to reach this point.
Lin Duan forced to make a decision, he glanced at his subordinate and sent a threatening gaze, telling him to shut up before he looked back to Zhang ngyao.
"I apologize for my-"
"I am not that stupid to believe your falsity, if you want to stay in the south gate then follow the order! If you don't want to listen, then leave!" After saying that, she turned around, "Pack up! Get rest, we don't know when they will attack us again!"

In the line of Wei Xi's team, Captain Cao could see the ogre's dead bodies strewn all over, incomplete. The gory scene was not the thing that shocked him, but the number of the ogres Wei Xi's team killed. Just looking at the dead bodies around, he could tell that what they faced was just around half what they killed despite his team's numbers being doubled to Wei Xi's.
But the shock did not stop there as he saw more ogre's dead bodies ahead of the Wei Xi's team. What shocked him was that the fact that only two people in frontmost, two people killed hundreds of the ogres.
"Don't block the way, please!" While the soldiers were cheered for their victory, a flat voice resounded from the back. Everyone looked back, they saw Yu Shun and his seven zombies.
Captain Cao imdiately moved to the side, the sa for his subordinates. They opened a path for Yu Shun and his zombies too.
"Captain Cao!" While he looked at the zombies fearfully, he heard a familiar voice called his na. Captain Cao turned toward the voice and saw Wei Xi ca toward him while waving his hand.
"How is it? Any of your people get injured?" Wei Xi tried to look the soldiers behind, "No, we are fine, everyone is fine," Captain Cao replied with a slight proud smile.
"That's good, that's good," Wei Xi smiled in return, "Do you have ti for a chat? I will treat you to a good al,"
Captain Cao was aware of the conflict between the Fla Castle and the Tang Empire. For now, he and his team were part of the Fla Castle's group. He was in a dilemma as it was clear that Wei Xi did not have any ill intention toward them. At least, the guy had not shown sothing like that.
"It's just a chat. My Boss allowed us to get so rest. We don't know when the Ogre Tribe will attack us again, so we have to use our spare to the fullest before we face the ogres again," Wei Xi put his hand around Captain Cao's shoulder, "You guys can join us as well, let's have a good al," he also invited the other soldiers.
The soldiers were looking at each other. Their captain said nothing about whether they should join or not. In the end, they followed their captain.

"How many?" Tang Shaoyang asked the girl who wiped her sweat from her face, but it only made her face stained with the blood in her hand.
With a big smile, Kang Xue showed her palm with three fingers stood, "I gained three levels!"
Tang Shaoyang raised his thumb, "Good," then he noticed Yu Shun walked toward him, "How is it?"
"The south gate is safe, but those people from the Fla Castle made a little ss," Yu Shun told everything about what happened in the south gate. He included Zhang ngyao's threat to Lin Duan, how she handled the situation.
Tang Shaoyang nodded but did not comnt anything about the incident, "What are you doing here?" Then he noticed the zombies were gathering the corpse while Keeper spat fire to the corpses.
"Cleaning the dead bodies, Lady ngyao told to clean the dead bodies. She is afraid that the rotten bodies would produce a plague," Yu Shun explained.
"Mnn, better safe than sorry. We will need to revise the strategy, so co to the main building after you are done with the cleaning," he tapped the young man's shoulder. After that, Tang Shaoyang and Kang Xue went back to the fort.
If the number of the ogres were these many, defensive strategy would only exhaust them to the death. They needed to change their strategy.
